County Teaehern, AssocIa..on.

At 2 O'Clock the Lyon County Teach
ers' Association was called to order by
Prof. Wilkinson.
Mr.. B. w. Spiker was elected tenn
porary chairman. The exercises open
ed with vocal quartette given by
Messrs. Kelley, Dudley, Johnson and
Phillips. Miss Grace Kirkendall re-
cited, THE Schoolmaster's Desk. -
The piece was replete with truthful
pictures of district school teachers
hardships.
Miss Mamie Dolphin read a very
able essay on Errors in Teaching
Language and How to Correct Them. ,,
She deprecated the teaching of techni-
cal grammar before the pupils were
able to frame correct English sem
tence. The pupil should not so much
be impressed with the idea that he is
reciting as that he is in general con-
versation with the teacher. Pupils
should be led to have something &C
curate to say before saying. Good
practice in language is to write reviews
of stories. Superintendent Dixon, in
her discussion of the paper emphasized
the advice to use pictures as aids in
composition work. Miss Kuhlmann
recommended the publication of Miss
Dolphin's paper in the Western School
Journal.
Supt. A. E. Dixon addressed the as
ISOLATION on the subject of ''Seat Work
for Little Folks" She said, if pupils
had something to do. there would be
little trouble in keeping them orderly.
She gave several ingenious devices for
supplementing the text book and keep
ing the pupils interestedly at work.
The county teachers should remember
that cloudy day does not mean a poor
programme, and those absent to-day
missed something of value in Miss
DixOn's address.
Mrs. S. J. Pierce conducted Tecita-
ton in combination number work with
a class of little children. The children
were as much interested as anybody.
and caused good deal of amusement
with their lively little stories. Chill
dren are bound to learn and to want to
learn with such pleasant instructions.
The exercise elected some very lively
discussions. To-day's meeting has
been one of the most profitable of the
year.
Professor Wilkinson's genial humoI
keeps the association in good spirit.

PRO AND GOE


Judge Brewer, in the United States
Circuit Court, has issued q decree, de-
claring John Walruff's brewery, at
Lawrence, a common nuisance, and di
recting the United States marshal to
close and abate the same. the decree
also awards an injunction perpetually
restraining John Walruff, the MEM
bers Of his family, their agents and
employees, from manufacturing intoxi-
eating liquors or selling the same, or
from manufacturing. keeping for bar
ter, sale, gift OF use, in, on or about
the famous Walruff brewery.
Neverless, this decree seems to be at
least a little in conflict with decision
just handed down by the supreme court
of the state, which has decided that
any person in the lawful and bona fide
possession of intoxicating liquor may
use it as he sees fit; ne may drink il
himself or give it away, but he cannot
by any shift or device in selling or Civ.
ing away lawfully eVade the provisions
of the statute prohibiting the manufac
ture and sale of intoxicating liquor
They also hold that person cannot bt

Of said act. The opinion is rendered
by Chief Justice Horton, all justices
concurring.
This latter opinion was rem
dered in the case of person
who was charged with violating
the prohibition law because N

when his friends called he treated
them to glass of beer. Especial stres
was placed on the fact that they held

beer. No one was charged with dis

meetings were not had for the pur

When l reached this place early in
October the weather was very pleasant.
The bay and its surroundings were
beautiful, and, taken altogether, it
was delightful; and then the activity
displayed in real estate transactions,
and in building up fine city on these
barren hills in so short a time wa
wonderful to one not used to such fasc-
mating things. But after a few days
study of the subject, we begin to dis
cover that even this is not perfection
and that this favored spot has its dis
advantages, that the dust, fIeas and
mosquitoes are, to say the least, very
unpleasant and that it can scarcely
be called a health resort. Ague,
typhoid, malarial fevers and rheuma-
tism are very prevalent, even in the
temperate climate of the coast, and
they are much worse in the hot valleys
this is the most even temperature in
the world, yet old residents have told
me that they have seen the tempera-
ture change forty-five degrees in but
little more than four hours. Before
the rains set in the prevailing breeze
was from the sea (SouthweSt), and very
steady during the day, except from to
8 O'Clock a. m, when it was calm.
Rain came on the oath, and that day
and the next Thanksgiving the rain
fall was over two inches; more, they
say, than the total fall last year.
Since the rain there is no dust, and not
so many fieas and mosquitoes; but at
the same time the weather is not so
pleasant, as we have heavy fogs and
high winds. amounting to storms at
times. We feel the cold severely, as
but few here have fires to go to, and
have to endure it until the Snn comes
out, and lady recently summed up
the climate by the remark, that she
would rather be warm in a cold
than cold in a warm climate.
This city is improving very rapidly,

some residences. and expanding $780,,

to be of Importance in the near future.

furniture and grocery stores are doing
well. Mechanics who are connected !

BRRR TRADE

That Emporia is not the only city In
Kansas that INDUCES in beer is mani
fest by the following special telegram
to the Kansas City Times:
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 9.--The trial Of
the case Of the Phillip Best brewing
company Of Kansas City against Aid
rich s. Brown, druggists, Of Wichita,
began in the United States court this
afternoon. The action was brought
to recover q, 600 claimed to be due on
account of beer sold the Wichita firm
a year ago. The defendants set up a
counter claim of SlO, 900 on account of
the failure to carry out the terms of
the contract to furnish them with beer
as the plaintiffs agents at Wichita.
The evidence elected showed an inn
mense beer trade in Wichita during the
three months in which the contract
defendants testified that they had
purchased from the plaintiffs
and sold. during the period
| named, 36,545 cases of beer, OF
ST. $50 bottles, and 58,758 gallons Of
beer in bulk, making total of nearly

Of beer per day during the three months

basis Of 40, 600 population.
II
case, however, is that the principal at

THE London Times reports the begin
ming of an interesting experiment in
''sumptuary legislation" on the inter
national scale. The six powers border
ing on the North Sea-Great Britain,
France, Belgium, Holland, Germany
and Denmark--have entered into an
agreement to attempt by concurrent
legislation and police action to protect
the poor North Sea fishermen against
their greatest enemy. Each for itself
engages to forbid its fishermen to buy
spirits or to barter their fish, nets, OF
other gear for them; to forbid the sale
of spirits to any fishermen; to KEEP
spirits off It's North Sea trading craft
by system of strict licensure and in.
spection; and to appropriately punish
offenders

THE Des Moines Register thus ex-
plains its reasons for resisting certain
demands now made by the extreme
prohibitionists:
1--WE are everlastingly opposed to a
state conStabulary in Iowa for any pur-
pose except in time of war, public peril
or actual insurrection. We are opposed
to it now, and shall always be. We are
not even open to conviction on the sub
ject. Itwonld kill, in this state of free
people, both!prohibition and the republi
can party so dead that there would be
no trouble to tell what killed them.
We are not opposed TO municipal wo-
man suffrage, nor yet in favor of it.
But we are opposed to the republican
party taking up any new departures
Just now, to ALLEVIATE still more of its
conservative votes, and drive it and
prohibition both out of power"

revenue of the government (which now
presents a surplus of nearly $40, 000,-

In our telegraph dispatches will be

made yesterday on Dr. Morrison Mum
ford by the overgrown Kansas City
bully, Ed. Corrigan, who, were, it not
for his fathers money, would not be
recognized anywhere outside of a jail
or wOrkhouse. We are inclined to
think that Ed. will find that he has bit
off more than he can chew this time.
for Dr.. Munford is not the man to al
low himself to be beaten up by a bully
without making it hot for him, and we
should not at all be surprised if this

that he he had already paid for his bru-
tally with his life. He is deserving OF
no more mercy than a mag-dog, and
when met by his victims should be
treated just as if he were really one OF
the animals he puts himself on a paI
with. The law is too slow and uncer-
tain remedy for villains of this char
acter, whose wealth is shield to theil
baseness. This attack on Munford
after the even more brutal one on No
sier, will exonorate the Doctor for any
remedy he may deem expedient to use
in the case.
